Congratulations to the Dublin ACT Youth Council!

Congratulations to the Dublin ACT Youth Council for being awarded the 2019 ADAPAO Prevention Organization of the Year Award for exemplary efforts to employ dialogue, education, networking, and advocacy to champion prevention.

The ADAPAO Youth Prevention Awards honor excellence in and commitment to prevention in Ohio among young people and youth-engaged organizations in our state.

Members of ADAPAO, the statewide membership association championing prevention in Ohio, nominate youth who are engaged in prevention in their communities and around the state, as well as organizations engaged in youth prevention.

Dublin ACT Youth Council

The purpose of the Dublin ACT Youth Council is to give Dublin youth a voice in the community regarding prevention of underage drinking and other drug use initiatives. This group is also responsible for developing and initiating their own youth-driven community projects to combat underage drinking and other drug use including the misuse and abuse of prescription drugs and marijuana. The Youth Council is comprised of a diverse group of community youth that provide leadership training and evidence based prevention strategies to guide members in accomplishing their goals.
